Console
The Console page allows you to program and manually playback lighting scenes.
Overview
A Cue is a lighting scene, a state at which all DMX channels are set to a specific value. A sequence of
multiple Cues - running one-by-one – is called a Cue-list. The Lighting Console function features as 1 Cue-
list containing 256 Cues. Each Cue stores the values for all 1,024 DMX channels. The number of Cues is
fixed, however, Cues can be left unused.
Run Mode
The Lighting Console can be set in either PLAY or EDIT mode. The difference between the modes is the
EDIT mode ignores the fade, hold and link values. The EDIT mode is more convenient during
programming the Cues.
Unit
A DMX channel can be set between 0 (minimum) and 255 (maximum). The DMX levels are shown in
these decimal values if the UNIT is set to DEC. When UNIT is set to % the levels are shown in the range of
0% and 100%.
The UNIT setting also influences how you enter the values via the Command Line interface. E.g. if you
would like to set a channel to the maximum level you would type in value '255' when the unit is set DEC
and you would type in '100' when it was is set to %.
